Cheshire cats, Chameleons, Kaleidoscopes, Symbols of change . In various guises, it was all around, trying to confuse us, yet helping us to grow. Did we ‘‘grin and bear it’ like a Cheshire cat? Changing to lose touch with reality, - : smiling to hide our frustrations, o pave Naver ates ee never finding a reason to laugh? Perhaps a disguise would have been better. Were we afraid to be different? Chameleons blend into their Surroundings, yet did we blend into a crowd because we felt vulnerable? Why not appear happy, colorful, carefree as a kaleidoscope? In whatever way was easiest, we compromised with circumstance. We faced reality with both smiles and tears. We became individuals, proud of our uniqueness although we were part of a whole. We were happy because we liked ourselves and our new, growing community. Sandals are ‘‘in’’ and off at Father-Daughter dance.

Activites: Fun, Bombard Student Life Routines, Religion, Restrictions, Facets of change. . . For 935 souls, both young and old, united in a quest for knowledge, 1978 meant one thing — renovation. Block scheduling left us lost the entire month of September. Old familiar patterns were broken, new ones formed slowly. Moving from days called MTWREFS to periods of A-G made us wonder who went alphabet crazy? Expansion urged development of a Religious Education Center, a place away from it all. Through rain, snow, and sunshine, a three minute walk was the key opening the door to new classroom experience. Flea market decor gave personality. Posters and pillows gave warmth. Through religious teaching and discussions, the very atmosphere gave us inspiration. Discipline became a way of life. Dress code enforcement, two hour detentions, and possible loss of free periods kept students under firm control. We didn't enjoy wearing complete uniforms, but at least they gave us a choice — blazer, sweater, or vest! We learned to adjust to changes. Our daily lives were filled with fun, anticipation, heartaches and setbacks. Ittooktime. . . but we tried. Careful measurements insure a successful poster for Tamara Maslen.
